A Statistical Variance Components Framework for Mapping Imprinted Quantitative Trait Locus in Experimental Crosses

Journal of Probability and Statistics, 2009
Current methods for mapping imprinted quantitative trait locus (iQTL) with inbred line crosses assume fixed QTL effects. When an iQTL segregates in experimental line crosses, combining different line crosses with similar genetic background can improve ...

The Neurospora crassa Standard Oak Ridge Background Exhibits Atypically Efficient Meiotic Silencing by Unpaired DNA

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019
Meiotic silencing by unpaired DNA (MSUD), an RNAi-mediated gene silencing process, is efficient in crosses made in the Neurospora crassa standard Oak Ridge (OR) genetic background.

Genetic diversity and population structure of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) accessions by means of microsatellites markers

Acta Scientiarum: Agronomy, 2020
The success of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) breeding programs depends on the choice of productive parent lines that have a high industrial yield and are genetically divergent. This study assessed the genetic divergence and population structure of sugarcane

Generation mean analysis for grain yield and its components in popcorn

Open Agriculture, 2018
Knowledge about genetic composition of a character helps plant breeders to plan their breeding programs. Grain yield and related traits are very important in maize breeding programs.

Supporting long‐term sustainability of ex situ collections using a pedigree‐based population management approach

Applications in Plant Sciences, 2022
Premise Living collections maintained for generations are at risk of diversity loss, inbreeding, and adaptation to cultivation. To address these concerns, the zoo community uses pedigrees to track individuals and implement crosses that maximize founder ...

Statistical Inference for Genetic Relatedness Based on High-Dimensional Logistic Regression [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
This paper studies the problem of statistical inference for genetic relatedness between binary traits based on individual-level genome-wide association data. Specifically, under the high-dimensional logistic regression models, we define parameters characterizing the cross-trait genetic correlation, the genetic covariance and the trait-specific genetic ...

Molecular parentage analysis is essential in breeding Asian seabass.

PLoS ONE, 2012
In aquaculture species, maintaining pedigree information and genetic variation in each generation is essential, but very difficult. In this study, we used nine microsatellites to genotype 2,520 offspring from four independent full-factorial crosses (10 ...

Deep Visual-Genetic Biometrics for Taxonomic Classification of Rare Species [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Visual as well as genetic biometrics are routinely employed to identify species and individuals in biological applications. However, no attempts have been made in this domain to computationally enhance visual classification of rare classes with little image data via genetics.
